Stop polluting at such a vast rate, and your climate might calm down a bit. The chinese are soon to run out of drinking water due to toxic heavy metals in the water table, are running out of natural resources (not looking for their own, but buying large amounts of other peoples up) and are bloody cheeky fuckers telling the USA / UK they need to pollute less!!! Fuck off - china is now the most polluted air / skies /sea / rivers on earth, and we are all having to cut back so they can keep their pollution rising? Dirty yellow bastards, clean your act up! |

[link to mdn.mainichi-msn.co.jp] Yellow sand from China covers Japanese cities in clouds of dust The yellow sand produces a haze over buildings in Nagoya on Monday morning. NAGOYA -- Huge clouds of yellow sand carried on strong winds from China covered areas of western Japan on Monday, reducing visibility and coating buildings with dust. Meteorological officials said visibility in the cities of Nagoya, Tsu and Gifu was reduced to about 3 kilometers as a result of the sand. Because of the poor visibility, officials warned people to take care when driving on expressways in affected areas. Yellow sand, also referred to as yellow dust or Asian dust, is whipped up by winds over the Chinese mainland and carried over Japan by westerly winds at an altitude of about 10,000 meters. The yellow haze was expected to remain until Tuesday, when a trough of low pressure is due to pass over the country, officials said. In addition to poor visibility, officials said the sand could make washing that had been hung out in affected areas turn yellow. (Mainichi) |

Water-level drop prompts volcano fear By Jonathan Yeung (China Daily) Updated: 2007-04-03 07:05 A record decline in the water level at Huguangyan's volcanic lake in Guangdong has raised concern that the sleeping volcano is about to have a wake-up call. At 2.3 square kilometers, Huguangyan is the world's largest volcanic lake. It is located in the southwest city of Zhanjiang. It has recorded its lowest water level in 10 years and during the second half of 2006, the level dropped 5 meters. The phenomenon, however, should not be a cause for worry, said Chen Quan, the director of Zhanjiang's seismology bureau. He ruled out the possibility of an eruption. "Our observation has not shown any abnormal sign indicating that a re-eruption will occur at Huguangyan," said Chen. Evolved from an extinct volcano centuries ago, the lake experienced a dramatic reduction in water during the second half of 2006 when the level fell 5 meters to reach 13 meters. Luo Shuwen, senior engineer from Guangdong geological prospecting bureau, said Huguangyan's water level drop was due mainly to a decline in rainfall last year. Luo said that between September and December alone, precipitation around Huguangyan was just 231.0 millimeters while the evaporation was as high as 445.3 millimeters. "Water supply therefore lagged far behind water loss," Luo said. He added that there were other reasons for the problem. "Working entities around Huguangyan kept pumping water from the lake which also caused Huguangyan's water level to decline," Luo said. Scientists with Zhanjiang meteorological bureau agreed that there was no need for people to worry. Officials at the scenic spot have been trying to deal with the issue. They have submitted proposals to Zhanjiang's municipal government to preserve Asia's only Maar lake. The first idea seeks to pump water from a well into the lake while another calls for a restriction on pumping water out of Huguangyan. Experts who have been doing research on Huguangyan Maar lake for many years agreed that working entities that use water from Huguangyan should be restricted. They also say that pumping in water from other lakes was not feasible. The lake's deposits can provide thousands of years of information about the earth and it is commonly referred to as "earth's yearbook." [link to www.chinadaily.com.cn] -Life is about play |
